Re: 'myself" is correct or not?
The expression "I, myself, am...." is correct. It is a bit redundant, and is generally used only when the speaker wishes to emphasize his own identity or involvement in the point of the conversation. For example, the conversation may have revolved around the job of the other person. The speaker, wishing to change the subject, might say, "I, myself, am in the entertainment business." The speaker then proceeds to speak at length about his own job.
